I was introduced to Stephen King 20 or so years ago by a kind individual who sacked lots of paperbacks in a plastic bag and tossed it next to a trash dumpster. Anyway, I recall finishing Gunslinger in a single night and I liked it. I liked it very much that I picked up following two and eagerly waited for 4th book. Well. I don't know what happened then. I guess I lost interest and moved on with real life horror. Getting out of college, finding a real job that pays more then a minimum wage, and so forth. I was re-introduced to Dark Tower few weeks ago by a form of garage sale that my neighbor was throwing on one saturday morning. She had a most complete Stephen King collection I've ever seen outside of library. I asked, "You must be a King's fan." She looked up, mouth slightly opened to say something, but nothing came out. Then her eyes dropped to her feet and said "I was." "20 dollars. You can have it all for 20 dollars. Or 25 cents for paperback, 50 cents for hardcover." I glimpsed at her collection. The Stand, It, Pet Semetary, Cujo, Shining, Salem's Lot, Dolores Claiborne... I bought the whole thing. Yup. I bought King's life work for 20 Bucks. As I was walking back home with a box full of Kings book, (Only one third of it. I had to come back for rest, later.) I questioned my $20 investment. Is King's work worth 20 bucks? Previously, they were free. They were free in a form of lumped plastic bag down by the trash dumpster. If I tell Mr. King that I bought you for 20 bucks, what would he say? Good investment? Bad investment? Middle finger? A smile? That night, I opened the door and saw the man fleeing across the desert, and a gunslinger followed. I like it. I still like it very much.

When I finished Cynthia Hand's Unearthly, I thought, God help who sits beside me when I find out this isn't a series. But when I read it is, I realized I'd have to wait until 2012 for the next book's publication...then I realized the possibility that the world might end before I get to read it and now I'm just a mess. OH, LIFE!!! This book is awesome. It's YA so I'm not ashamed to admit that I absolutely swooned because, of course, while the writing was great, the characters well-developed and the plot interesting and well-paced, it was the romance that brought me to my knees impressed me. Let me point out how the romantic relationship(s) in this book show what other YA romance books are missing out on: these characters take time to get to know each other; they don't glimpse each other in a crowded hallway and fall in love, flinging their all too willing bodies at each other as soon as the opportunity comes. When you invest time in a courtship, or even just a friendship, the moment of romantic revelation is all the more powerful. I felt them fall in love, and thus in turn I fell in love with them. Writers, if you don't want uptight, book snobs like me on your tails, take heed. Give me the goods and your safe. Like your friend Cynthia Hand. But this is a four star book because I felt the book to have been missing a little something, something. Concern #1: why didn't Clara and her family attend church? That boggles me. They're angel-blood, so shouldn't they be all about God? Concern #2: the first (and only) time we meet Clara's father, it seemed like he had something very important to discuss with her but we're never told. He just kinda lives in NY and apparently believes that new cars substitute for an absentee father...well... Concern #3: this book isn't like most series books because it didn't feel very conclusive even for the first of a series. It felt like it ended mid-action. And the last 50 or so pages were very cramped. But then again, it is book one. Okay, forgiven. Concern #3.5 did Tucker have to wear cowboy boots, a cowboy hat and belong in a rodeo? Like, did he absolutely have to? Concern #4: (view spoiler) Concern #5: Was her vision/purpose supposed to be as confusing and vague as it ended up being? Cause I understood none of that. But all this is irrelevant at the end of the day because this book has way more good shit than bad. I think this book actually takes it's time but as readers, we're given information punctually and provided with enough entertaining scenes to pleasantly pass the time. (view spoiler)...by the by, I read this in ONE sitting. When I finally got up, I was empty of stomach and dizzy of head. True story. The characters are all likeable; endearing in their unique, subtle-sometimes-not-subtle ways. I even found the bitchy, pretty cheerleader quite complex...like, when does that ever happen? The book fits its genre snugly, with most of the regular tropes expectantly placed within the tapestry of the plot but its the way Hand rearranges them and flips them over our heads that marks this debut novel's true accomplishment. CANNOT FUCKING WAIT! Can you sense my excitement? --- UPDATE: Screw it, I'm giving it a 5. My heart throbbed too fiercely for it to deserve a 4.

The Clutter family murders have gotten a good deal in the press these past few years with the films "Capote" and "Infamous," but to truly get to the heart of it all, I recommend picking up Mr. Capote's landmark "true fiction novel," which set the tone for decades of prose that followed. Sensational, searing, and elegiac in tone, Capote brings the cow town of Holcomb, Kansas alive--its citizenry breaths and goes to church, to farmers markets, dates and marries...until that one fateful night in the late 50s when four of its children were gunned down. Too much has been written about "In Cold Blood" for me to add anything significant to the paradigm (it's like writing about "Psycho"), but I will say that I'm glad I picked it up BEFORE the films came out. I did NOT know that Mr. Capote was gay, that he all but manipulated events to suit his own book, that he was almost undeniably attracted to Perry Smith, one of the two men who hung for the murders. And in a way, I'm glad I went into "In Cold Blood" as blindly as I did. To know the notorious backstory of the genesis of Mr. Capote's book would have not ruined, but at least degraded the experience of his book somewhat. Free of such baggage, I was able to read "In Cold Blood" the way Capote, the veteran journalist, intended: detached, fascinated, repulsed, and never seeing his godlike hand in the very events he relates. This work remains a classic of 20th Century prose.
